production in city center?

[Heroes]

In civ3 any city central tile produces 2 food and 1 shield no matter what the base terrain is, so settling on desert is much better than settling on cow. Is this still true in civ4?

Absolutely. Especially in Civ4, desert doesn't give anything and can't be improved.

I did notice that when I settled on a hill the CC was making two hammers.
